Mick Waterhouse will be demonstrating carving and showing his beautiful sculptures in a range of woods.

“This celebration of Sussex’s artistic talent is created by Sussex resident artist Bronnie Cunningham’s passion to create an inspiring creative hub for local artist friends and family to join and share what we all do and love with the wider community. Running now for

over 20 years we are delighted to create another festival of art for West Sussex.

“If the weather is fine, bring a picnic and enjoy a stroll around the sculptures in the garden.

“If it is wet enjoy the exhibititions in the marquee, 16th-century cottage, the old studio, Sandy’s shed and the New Barn. There is also the arty dip (a lot like a lucky dip but with art themed prizes), free art making zone or play the musical sculptures and watch the art demonstrations.”
